Banter Who will be better in 2024? Carlton or Collingwood? Part 2

[Fadge]

Eight flags in the sixty odd years and it'll be nine flags in sixty six years soon enough.

Anyone who thinks that Collingwood have had a better run than Carlton since 1958 or 1960 or whatever, has no semblance of reality whatsoever.

If someone honestly thinks that there was more joy in following the Pies in that time frame, then you are living in cloud cuckoo land.

Why choose such a specific cut off date?

Do the same for 5 years?
10 years?
20 years?
30 years?
40 years?
50 years?
60 years?
70 years?
80 years?
90 years?
100 years?
110 years?
History of the competition?

No way I'd be swapping the ride I've been given as a Collingwood supporter over my lifetime, as would be the case for 80% of the population.

Reputations of leaders are made in September.

Not a lot of data available at this point in time for Cripps.

Just as well you have NFI....

Strong retort.

 

[Arr0w]

Been given a ride of more GF losses than wins, sad that a few of their supporters think they are this dominant powerhouse

Delusional

 

[Fadge]

Cripps was pretty much 2nd BOG just behind Walsh vs Melbourne with busted ribs. I'd say he's doing ok.

So one strong finals game from three finals in a 10 year career so far?

My point about limited data stands.

Plenty of time left Fadgey.

Indeed.

And happy to arrive at an informed opinion if/when we have a larger data set to review.

Meh just another dead rubber!

Above the Pies last time i looked.

We are just a good mid table side

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Indeed.

Always nice to see downhill skiers like Bont and Crippa have a hit out against the bottom 2 sides

When do WE get to play Richmond?

 

[Arr0w]

You played a side that was 18th and nearly got rolled

All in due course, my friend.

As we are well versed, the home and away rounds are nothing more than qualifying for finals... then we find out who the contenders and pretenders are.

Dude you are saying nick is the GOAT off a couple of seasons and you wanna talk about sample size

But if your ok with that I’m ok with saying Naicos is a worse finals player than J Johannisen.

 

[JustaBattler]

Is this the closest competition for finals spots at this stage of the season - ever?

Oh another nice win today - I thought Cripps, Saad and Newman played blinders - and GOALrazio showing why Voss keeps playing him into fitness and form.

Today was Carlton's first game against a bottom 8 side since Round 5. Collingwood have only played bottom 8 sides since Round 8.

And we are the ones downhill skiing...?

Six points between 2nd and 3rd, 6 points between 3rd and 13th, yeah going to be an epic finish

[CCurnow3votes]

We are so good.

Like cancel the season and just give us #17 now good.

Any filth shown up in this thread yet?

They’re long gone - yesterdays news.

Is that the lid on the Dirty Birds’ garbo can ?

Nope - that lid is well & truely stuck.

I don't know, but I'm still waiting to play West Coast! Really dumb fixture.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Wouldn't it just be tragic for the Pies faithful if after almost 30 years of working towards equalling Essendon and Carlton on 16 the Blues went on to win it the year after and take us ahead to 17.

Possibly the worst fixture ever, got nothing right
